When are we going to do that again?

Yep thats me all by my lonesome, I would have never done that with someone else in the boat. I new it was gona be big but not like a rocket launch. Exciting to say the least just glad I made it. I believe it was a 48' Sea-ray wake.

I was with my little brother and is girlfriend last year and i caught one wrong kinda like that (you came down ok) mine tipped tward the starboard side and my head hit the water. ripped my glasses off and i bent the steering wheel in half. did not see it commin. i was near a boatramp so i assume it was some waves from people trailering and launching and getting on plane. the killswitch still pulled out took me a second to bend the wheel back and run home.

I wasent scolding buddy. crap like this happens. just looked kinda like what i did. just i have no video of it.

Was it just me or does the guy in the beautiful Velocity need a few driving lessons. Recommended lesson number one - how to drive your way out of chine walk. Recommended lesson number two, the funny little stick in your right hand gets pulled back when you leave the water and pushed back forward when you land to make your drive last longer. Just my 2 cents.
